I made the decision to intentionally heal from my last relationship. In the past I would attempt to force myself to “just move on” but I learned the hard way by doing this, I prolonged the very pain I was tryna avoid. There’s no shortcut to healing you just have to go through it.

Initially I told myself since the split was amicable, we would just go back to being friends and stay close. But I found myself caught in relationship limbo by doing this. Trying to actively get over someone while mentally hoping y’all work it out. It never works out for you...

Being friends can happen. Down the line once time has passed. But I think initially when two people decide to call it quits it’s imperative that the distance is created. There is no closure without healing. There is no healing without boundaries. Give yourself the space to let go

You’ll know when it’s time to take space. For me it was when I could feel the tendons in my heart tearing at the same time I felt the butterflies in my stomach fluttering. When you love somebody so much that talking to them makes your day and breaks your heart at the same time...

My intentional healing looks like not checking his social media, not reaching out to see how he’s doing, not wondering if he’s thinking about me, not focusing on glowing up just so I could make him miss me. Intentional healing looks like letting go. It looks like moving on
